The BJP government in Goa has led the state into a debt trap of Rs 23,000 crore which means that the per capita debt for 15,00,000 population in Goa is Rs 1,53,000 which is almost five times that of another BJP ruled state, Madhya Pradesh which has a total of Rs 2.56 lakh crore debt, translating into a per capita debt of Rs 34,000 for its entire population. Also as per conservative estimates Goa government employs 1 in every 22 persons in government jobs. If you assume that the average salary of a government employee is Rs 25,000 per month, Rs 2,100 crore are spent on salaries every year. Also with the price of petrol at Rs 95 per litre and domestic LPG cylinder costing Rs 1,000 each and to add to it vegetables, fruits, pulses, lentils and cooking oil have registered sharp rate of inflation in Goa, an average family finds itself in a very tight spot. People in Goa have to consider this aspect and thus vote for that party which can make life for the average and poorer sections of society tolerable.
